Famed media blogger Jim Romenesko of the Poynter Institute on the excrement that is the New York Times iPad app:

For three weeks now I’ve been trying to read the New York Times from its iPad app without any luck. It tries to load for about 30 seconds, then crashes. I deleted the app and reinstalled it; that didn’t work. I rebooted the iPad; again, that didn’t solve the problem. Then I checked the App Store reviews and saw that others were having problems, and that the app had received one-star reviews from 495 of the 659 reviewers. I’ll second what this critic says: “The most annoying thing is that no one at the NY Times seems to be reading these reviews and fixing the problems.”
